About ATMOS Space Cargo
ATMOS Space Cargo is a European space logistics company with facilities in Lichtenau (Germany) and Strasbourg (France) that develops reusable orbital transfer and re-entry vehicles to transport, operate and return payloads from low Earth orbit. Its PHOENIX platform uses an Inflatable Atmospheric Decelerator as heat shield and parachute; PHOENIX 1 flew a demonstration mission in April 2025, and the company is building an initial PHOENIX 2 fleet for routine commercial and institutional return missions while developing larger PHOENIX 3 (about one-tonne payload) and launching ATMOS WORKS for government and defence customers. In April 2026 ATMOS closed a €25.7 million Series A co-led by Balnord and Expansion, with Keen Defence and Security and the European Innovation Council (EIC Accelerator blended grant and equity), plus OTB Ventures, HTGF, APEX Ventures, Seraphim, Faber, E2MC and others, to move from demonstration to operational service.
